The combination of a hose and hose fittings to make a hose assembly, is a critical process that needs to be carried out by professionally trained personnel who follow strict assembly instruction. Improperly assembled hose fittings can separate from the hose and may cause serious injury or property damage from whipping hose,or from fire or explosion of vapor expelled from the hose.
The hose assembly must be operated within specific limits to maximise a safe and long term service life.
